Foreign Nationals coming to India are required to possess a genuine and valid national passport or any other internationally recognized travel document establishing his\/her nationality and identity, bearing the photograph of the individual.<\/p>\n
Exemptions:\u00a0Nepal and Bhutan nationals if entering India by land or air from the Nepal or Bhutan border respectively do not require a passport to enter India. However, they are required to possess authorized identity proof.<\/p>\n
All visitors to India must have a visa to enter the country.<\/p>\n
Most delegates can apply online (https:\/\/indianvisaonline.gov.in\/<\/a>) but some nationalities will need to make a paper application. A recent change now allows U.K. delegates to apply via the e-visa portal below. Please check the e-visa website to confirm the current position:\u00a0https:\/\/indianvisaonline.gov.in\/<\/a><\/p>\n We advise that you apply for a conference visa and not a business or tourist visa. A conference visa will enable you to stay in India for 30 days after arrival and participate in tourist activities pre- or post-conference as part of its remit. For further information please check: https:\/\/www.theisn.org\/wcn\/essentials\/#visa-and-passport<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n To streamline the process, it is advised to apply for visas and to register your industry representatives as soon as possible, even before the official registration deadlines. Please send their details to registrationswcn@theisn.org<\/a> at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In India, there are three associated plug types, types C, D and M.
